BAYNE
UPDATES TASKMASTER™ CYLINDER LIFT
Economical
lifter gets upgrades for longer life, lower maintenance costs
Greenville,
S.C. (July 21, 2006) — Bayne Premium Lift Systems has updated its
Taskmaster™ cylinder lift to offer extended service life and reduced
maintenance costs. Changes include a new adjustable hook, solid cylinder
connector, single faceplate pin, various bushing improvements and an
upgrade to the breakaway bolt and faceplate stop. The Taskmaster was
designed for refuse haulers looking for an economical, high-quality cart
lifter. It can be mounted on refuse collection vehicles or on stationary
frames or compactors for use in a variety of material handling
applications. |
“The Taskmaster
cylinder lift has quickly become one of the most dependable
cylinder-actuated cart lifters in the refuse industry,” says Tyler
Tucker, product engineer. “Our recent design improvements will make it
an even more reliable, long-lasting choice.”
The Taskmaster’s
new solid cylinder connector prevents refuse from falling behind the
cylinder and eliminates misalignment that can contribute to bushing
wear. The new cylinder is interchangeable with the previous design, so
older lifters can be retrofitted.

In the Taskmaster’s faceplate, cylinder connector and hook, the
bushing material has been changed to a polyester/graphite composite for
higher compressive strength, improved abrasion resistance and low
moisture absorption. The faceplate bushings also have seals to keep out
wear-causing contaminants. The composite bushing previously used in the
hook linkage has been replaced with a steel-backed polymer-lined bushing
and a stainless steel wear sleeve. The combination provides a more rigid
design that will also prevent rust contamination. The pins are also now
made of stainless steel, to prevent contamination and wear from pin
rust. Kits are available to rebuild existing Taskmaster lifts.
New Taskmaster lifts feature a single faceplate pin instead of the dual
pins used previously. The new model distributes the cylinder force to
all of the mainframe support plates, providing a stronger and more
durable design.
The Taskmaster cylinder lift is compatible with standard domestic-style
two-bar roll-out carts. It can lift 550 lbs. at 1800 psi in six to eight
seconds. Its patented Thinline® design works with most commercial
container latch kits. A solid hook drive mechanism automatically secures
the cart to the faceplate during the dump cycle. Self-lubricating
composite bearings at all pivot points eliminate the need for greasing.
